The MLL department emphasizes the importance of living and studying abroad. UMBC participates in two study-abroad programs in
Mexico. In the Maryland in Mexico City program, students study at the Center for the Instruction of Foreign Students of the National
Autonomous University of Mexico. The Maryland in Taxco Mexico program is a six-week, six-credit intensive Spanish language program
offered every summer at the Taxco campus of the Center for the Instruction of Foreign Students of the National Autonomous University
of Mexico. MLL faculty advise French, German and Russian students on programs abroad.

The department has an active council of majors, a linguistics club and several language clubs. German students can apply to
Delta Phi Alpha, the National German Honors Society. Russian students can participate in a Russian chorus. Internships and community
service projects are available. The faculty encourages and supports undergraduate participation in faculty research.

MLL graduates successfully pursue careers in law, medicine, education, social work, government and international business.
